FRENCH LEMON PIE

     LEMON-PIE - A French dessert cake

     My girlfriend got this recipe when she lived in Paris three
     years ago. In French it is called Tarte au citron.

INGREDIENTS (One pie)
          PIE CRUST
     3/4 cup   wheat flour
     1/4 lb    butter
     2 Tbsp    water
          FILLING
     1         lemon
     4 Tbsp    butter
     1         egg
     1/2 cup   sugar

PROCEDURE
          (1)  Preheat the oven to 425 deg. F.

          (2)  Make crust: Mix flour and butter in a food proces-
               sor. Add water and form a dough. Press into a pie
               pan.

          (3)  Make filling: Grate the lemon peel. Press the
               juice out of the lemon.

          (4)  Melt the butter.

          (5)  Beat the egg with sugar, the melted butter, lemon
               juice and lemon peel.

          (6)  Pour the filling into the pie crust.

          (7)  Bake in oven for about 30 minutes at 425 deg. F.

          (8)  Let the pie cool down.
